"Section 6. Part II
LEVEL I FEASIBILITY STUDY – MITIGATION NORTH PLATTE DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
(a) There is appropriated one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) from the budget reserve account to the Wyoming water development office to be expended to conduct feasibility studies specified in this section. Notwithstanding W.S. 9-4-207(a), funds appropriated under this section that are not encumbered or obligated prior to June 30, 2008, shall not revert to the general fund, but shall be used by the office to complete the studies authorized under this section. Level I feasibility funds appropriated under this section shall be used as follows:
(i) To develop a five (5) year plan to mitigate surface/drain water and groundwater replacement requirements required of the state of Wyoming as defined in the modified North Platte River Decree in an area bounded by Whalen Diversion Dam on the west, the Fort Laramie Canal on the South, the Interstate Canal on the North and the Wyoming-Nebraska state line on the east;
(ii) To explore and facilitate the creation of an irrigation district as an alternative for purchasing or otherwise acquiring replacement water as described in paragraph (a)(i) of this section;
(iii) To explore the potential and determine the feasibility of changing points of diversion of the North Platte River and its tributaries to mitigate the state of Wyoming's water replacement obligations as described in modified North Platte decree and paragraph(a)(i) of this section;
(iv) To locate and determine the feasibility of development of non-hydrological sources to mitigate the state of Wyoming's water replacement obligations described by the modified North Platte River decree and by paragraph (a)(i) of this section.
(b) The office shall report its findings to the select water committee prior to November 1, 2007.
(c) Any balance of funds remaining after completion of the level I feasibility study may be used for the acquisition of replacement water as described in paragraph(a)(i) of this section.
(d) As used in this section, "modified North Platte River decree" means the North Platte River decree approved by the United States Supreme Court in Nebraska v. Wyoming, 534 U.S. 40 (2001).". SAMUELSON, CHAIRMAN
